FEDEX INTERNATIONAL PRIORITY MAIL

Post new topic

Nomad Mundo

Hi,


I had a crucial paperwork mailed to me from USA-MAINE and the local FEDEX office displayed status as "Nas instalações locais FedEx..Volume não adequado para entrega".


I paid $76 for FEDEX for a swift and secure delivery that guaranteed within 1-3 days; although, USPS was just costing me $17 for the delivery. I'm not sure what the HELL this status signifies, especially since they aren't answering the phone# provided by FedEx. I'm somewhat nervous and cautious about the whereabouts of my documentation.


Any of expert inputs and helpful tips would be appreciated.1f644.svg

@Nomad Mundo My translation did not make much sense of it,  but there are two things to be aware of.


1).  Hands Down, the international shipper or delivery service of choice is DHL. They rule international delivery and Fed Exp, UPS, USPS has only a very small part of or experience with the market.


2). Whenever I have something from Amazon. Com sent to me in Brazil, there is ALWAYS a challenge with Import Fee's. Amazon.com collects them in advance, but there is always a communication problem. (Usually if I wait it out, having made the payment it will self-correct).


Good Luck, I am from R.I., so I sympathize.

I read it as saying the local subcontractor for FEDEX doesn't have, or FEDEX doesn't have, enough packages going to wherever you live to bother delivering it.


Not economically viable.


Try contacting the toll free US office is where I'd start as you can't reach the local one by phone.

I believe it is available for you to collect from your nearest Fedex office - they do not have sufficient volumes to justify delivery, so you must collect it yourself. Should be simple once you track down the office...
